Crossroads Ag Society gets major financial boost

Crossroads Agricultural Society has received $31,789 in federal funding to upgrade its main pavilion at Crossroads Agriculture Park in Pine Lake.

Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen made the announcement on behalf of Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification Lynne Yelich last week.

The money from the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund will be used to install a new heating system to improve energy efficiency and roof renovations to extend the life of the building.

Western Economic Diversification Canada is allocating $46.2 million over two years through the cost-share program to support repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure accessible to the public.

All projects are to be completed by March 31, 2014.
